I drank out of a steam. I’ve become a hippie. Rejoice in my transformation.

I keep one of these in my pack when hiking or going anywhere remote, as well as in my fishing tackle box on the lake. I’ve had to use it several times on the lake where otherwise I would have been severely dehydrated. Filters great. Personally, I only drink from PUR water filters as I’m a bodybuilder and regulate my diet to this point. This filter does just as well and it’s direct. It is quite difficult to bring the water to the straw but I don’t mind knowing that my water is pure. A child most likely couldn’t use it…but it could save your life.

Got the green one to match all my gear. Great item to buy for cheap to ensure that you will have at least minimal water in a bad situation. Heck, you can even drink your toilet water with this thing safely!

We use them camping in areas of questionable water, & have found they work great.Also took them to India as emergency resourceIts pretty compact, light weight & can be worn around the neck on its tether while day hiking.You do have to work within the limitations of the filter media, so do not expect to gulp down water as you drink thru them, but you can consistently sip thru then for quite a while before having to clear for a new drink.If you camp or hunt or travel to remote areas, take one, your life may depend on it.

All homes should have these. And we should keep them in our cars and bags and purses and backpacks, etc. These already do and will continue to save lives!! You never know when you may be cut off from drinking water and it’s the one thing we must have at all times to survive…we can manage without everything else for a time….Do yourself a favor a grab one or two when you can….

a must

I went on a 12 mile hike and used it to drink out of a well that pumped water to a metal tub for horses to drink. There was moss at bottom of tub. Next day I got really sick with stomach cramps and diarrhea. I will boil water from now on before using this to remove taste.So i went to hospital with high fever and turned out I ate bad tacos. Filter is good.

Nice design, easy to use, works very well, was really surprised at how easy it was to drink from a stream and be perfectly ok and taste good as well

I am going to keep this one simple. Recently I got stranded in the back woods of the Adirondack Mountains. I had ran out of water earlier on the first day and used this until I was rescued on the morning of day three. THIS WORKS, this helped save my life. If you hike YOU NEED THIS PRODUCT.

This thing is no joke! I took it backpacking on Maine’s Bigelow range. When I ran out of the water I brought, I was A-ok with this. Just bring a wide mouth bottle to fill with water you find. On top of one of the lower peaks, I drank from the most disgusting looking crevice filled with brown scum (see photo). I thought, this is going to be safe, but taste horrid. WRONG. TASTED LIKE THE FRESHEST SPRING WATER. Better than any tap. I’m from Maine, and I’ve tasted plenty of water right from mountain springs, so take my word. One caution: it can be a little challenging to start. You have to prove it by soaking. If it still doesn’t work, blow into it a bit.Get one for your outdoor adventures, and one for your bug-out bag, which everyone should have in case of natural disaster (or apparently civil war, because the world seems to have gone mad).

I’ve used these both in Iraq & Afghanistan. Works as advertised. Extremely reliable and genuinely safe to use filtration system. We now use it as a SOP to have one in everyone’s ruck when we deploy! Semper Fi.

I frequently hike and camp in the backcountry all over the United States. Carrying the amount of water that I need to survive during these trips is just not feasible due to the weight. In the past I always carried a General Ecology First Need XL water purifier and refilled nalgene bottles with it. Since getting a LifeStraw I most likely won’t be doing that any longer since the LifeStraw is smaller and lighter than the First Need XL. I recently took a LifeStraw out for a test on a backcountry hike in the Rocky Mountains. Every stream, lake, or other water source that I came across I stopped for a drink. I was drinking fresh snow melt and also from lakes that are home to beavers and other wildlife. There was no added taste to the water and I didn’t get sick during or after the trip.The one draw back to the LifeStraw is that it does take a bit of suction to start and keep the water flowing. When you’re at high altitudes in the mountains this leads to longer “drink breaks” since you can get winded pretty easy while trying to suck up water through the LifeStraw. However, its size and weight advantages when hiking mountainous terrain vastly out weigh this minor drawback.Overall, the LifeStraw is awesome and I recommend it to every backcountry hiker that I know.

Pleased with product

I bought this item for a hiking/camping trip in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and did it work amazing! It is an advantage to carry this around with you instead of bottles of water or a hydration pack. I was not afraid at one second to stick this into a random creek we came across and start to drink.The initial drink was a little tough. (Just need to get the water through the filter) But I would rather it be like that, so I know that the filter is doing its job. After that, the rest of the sips were easy.Make sure you clean this according to the instructions after each use. I believe the product will stop working if you do not clean it correctly.Do not hesitate to purchase this product and use it in a water source when you are thirsty.

Husband likes to take this when he goes hunting because there is less for him to cary and he can use it multiple times and leave no plastic bottles behind.
David –
Got what we ordered. Happy with this product already as I’ve used them in Afghanistan when I was last deployed there
LoopdieLou –
Saved for my emergency pack, but brand has earned great reputation.

I’ve used these in the past & bought a couple more to stuff in my survival bag for when emergencies happen & I have no bottled water and need safe clean water to drink right out of the creek. Every bug out bag needs a couple!
